Regulatory and service information

Important Information

Key information to read before you submit an enquiry or ask us for personalised mortgage or protection support.

Regulatory status

Anderson Reed and Anderson Reed Financial Services are trading names of Anderson Reed Financial Services Ltd, an Appointed Representative of Connect IFA Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Firm Reference Number 441505) and is entered on the Financial Services Register under reference 947349.

The guidance and/or information contained within this website is subject to the UK regulatory regime and is therefore targeted at consumers based in the UK.

Fees and commission

We charge a fee for mortgage advice, and our standard fee is £695.

Commission disclosure: We are a credit broker and not a lender. We have access to an extensive range of lenders. Once we have assessed your needs, we will recommend a lender or lenders that provide suitable products to meet your personal circumstances and requirements, though you are not obliged to take our advice or recommendation. Whichever lender we introduce you to, we will typically receive commission from them after completion of the transaction. The amount of commission we receive will normally be a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow from the lender. Commission paid to us may vary in amount depending on the lender and product. The lenders we work with pay commission at different rates. However, the amount of commission that we receive from a lender does not have an effect on the amount that you pay to that lender under your credit agreement.

Important warnings

  • Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
  • You may have to pay an Early Repayment Charge to your current lender if you remortgage.
  • Not all Buy to Let Mortgages are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
  • Not all services we offer are covered by the Financial Conduct Authority.
  • As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.

Editorial standards, AI disclosure & corrections

How our financial guidance is prepared and reviewed: Our public mortgage guides, calculator explanations, and Insights articles are prepared as educational UK financial guidance—not personal regulated advice. Where an article or guide displays a named reviewer and reviewed date, a qualified mortgage & protection adviser (CeMAP) or our Mortgage & Protection Editorial Team has checked the figures, regulatory warnings, and UK nation distinctions against official primary sources.

Primary sources & internal review schedule: We link directly to official primary sources—including GOV.UK, Revenue Scotland, the Welsh Revenue Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Bank of England, and MoneyHelper—so readers can verify tax thresholds, regulatory rules, and consumer rights independently. Internally, we track scheduled review-due dates and owners for property tax rules, calculator assumptions, lender/rate examples, and time-sensitive guidance. An internal review falling due triggers an editorial check; public published or updated dates only change when substantive content revisions are approved and published.

How we use AI assistance: Some Insights articles use AI-assisted research synthesis, drafting, or editorial illustrations to help summarise public market and regulatory updates. Automated drafts are never published directly as financial advice: every article undergoes human editorial and compliance review before publication, and we never display a personal adviser review credit unless a named human reviewer has recorded an approval on the published revision.

Corrections, updates & withdrawal process: If a factual inaccuracy, outdated tax threshold, or broken primary-source link is identified, our editorial team investigates and updates the relevant revision. Material changes to published Insights articles require fresh editorial approval before replacing the live revision, and articles that become obsolete or superseded are withdrawn from public circulation with an audit trail. If you spot a figure, source link, or statement that looks out of date or inaccurate, please report an editorial correction via our contact form or email info@andersonreed.co.uk.
